Am I dead or am I dreaming? 👻  

Bardo teachings are commonly believed to be concerned with death but in fact encompass the whole of the Buddha’s teachings. The Tibetan word bardo refers to an intermediate state, between past and future, a crossing or a junction, in which a decision has to be made. This place of decision, this cognizance, is the bardo. This bardo is none other than our buddhanature, innately perfect, which the bardo practices lead us to uncover and reveal. Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche explains the bardo states and their associated practices, drawing on commentaries by Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche and Tsele Natsok Rangdrol.

💦我是死了還是在做夢?👻 

中陰教法通常被認為與死亡有關，但實際上它包含了佛陀的全部教義。藏語中，中陰指的是一種介於過去和未來之間的狀態，是一個必須做出決定的十字路口或交匯點。這個做決定的地方，這個認知的地方，就是中陰。這個中陰不是別的，正是我們的佛性，它本自圓滿，中陰修行就是引導我們去發現和揭示它。

宗薩欽哲仁波切參考怙主敦珠仁波切和策列納措讓卓的論著，闡釋了中陰狀態及其相關的修行。

Calling The Guru from Afar, 30 June - 1 July 2010, Menz, Germany

In his commentary on this important mindfulness teaching by the great nineteenth-century rimé (non-sectarian) master, Jamgön Kongtrül Lodrö Thaye, Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche explains that guru devotion, or “calling to the guru” is a technique to attack our habit of self-cherishing. The text can be depressing as it clearly details all our negative habits, yet the most profound teachings are those that disturb rather than inspire us. We repeatedly call on the guru to recognize us because we do not see that the guru is always with us. We ask for the blessings of the guru to cut through our pride, ego-clinging and dualistic vision. Through supplicating the guru, our intellectual understanding of the dharma can develop into the confidence that ultimately the guru is none other than buddhanature: the fundamental nature of our mind.

[English only] Calling The Guru from Afar, 30 June - 1July 2010, Menz, Germany - Part 3

The Buddha is a revolutionary whose Four Noble Truths remain applicable today. Buddhists believe that nothing is perfect nor certain, that everything is illusory, and that all sentient beings are Buddha. The Buddhist view can liberate us from false assumptions in this age of identity politics and obsession with self-improvement. Ethical conduct in Buddhism has three categories: avoiding unwholesome actions, developing wholesome activities and benefitting others, but ultimately includes anything that takes us closer to the truth. Always remember that wisdom or truth is the driver of the car, compassion is in the passenger seat and ethics is at the back.
